Heavenly Luo City, Heavenly Luo Mountain, inside an enormous mine.
Several hundred miners busied themselves with sweat dripping down their backs. They carried enormous rocks on their heads. Those enormous rocks were even larger than their bodies, looking to weigh at least ten thousand catties.
These miners were basically all Manifestation Realm martial artists. Carrying enormous rocks weighing ten thousand catties was effortless.
The surface of the enormous rocks was pitch black, but if one looked closely, there was a faint blood color within.
If one removed the pitch-black layer on the surface, one would discover that the enormous rocks were actually blood red in color.
Above the mine, several figures appeared.
These figures were not unfamiliar. They were precisely Gu Yi, Ding Yifan, and the rest.
"Young Lord Ding, this is the first batch of Dragon Bloodstones that we mined. Your Dayuan Association's mining team is impressive indeed. In just half a month's time, they mined out the Dragon Bloodstones. Looks like it won't take much time to finish mining the entire Dragon Bloodstone mine vein. " Gu Yi's old face was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum. Seeing the Dragon Bloodstones come out, he could not even close his mouth.
Ding Yifan also found it hard to conceal his excitement as he said with a smile, "Master Gu, although this first batch of Dragon Bloodstones was mined by the Dayuan Association's mining team, without the protection of the Alchemist Association's Elixir Martial Forbidden Guards, the mining work would not have been so smooth. Therefore, Master Gu also claimed great credit. "
There seemed to be no guards around the mine vein, but there were over a hundred Alchemist Association's Elixir Martial Forbidden Guards lying in ambush. If someone dared to plot against the Dragon Bloodstones, these Elixir Martial Forbidden Guards would absolutely not show mercy!
The Elixir Martial Forbidden Guards were only loyal to the Alchemist Association and were equivalent to the Alchemist Association's private army. Their combat strength was terrifying, and none of the four great families dared to provoke them lightly.
With the Elixir Martial Forbidden Guards guarding the mine vein, nobody dared to approach within a thousand meters of the mine vein.
"Not at all, not at all. We're working together, mutually benefiting each other. "Gu Yi snickered and actually started complimenting each other.
At this time, Ding Yifan seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "Master Gu, I haven't seen City Lord Nie Tian for this half a month. Where did he go?"
Upon hearing Ding Yifan mention Nie Tian, a trace of worry flashed across Gu Yi's face, but immediately disappeared. With a dry laugh, he said, "I'm not too sure either. I think he went to cultivate with one of his former teachers. But don't worry, he will definitely be back before the Dragon Blood Martial Meet starts. "
Verbally advising Ding Yifan not to worry, but in his heart, Gu Yi was more worried than anyone else.
Perhaps others did not know, but he knew that Nie Tian did not go to cultivate at all. Instead, he entered the Bloody Slaughter Ancient Tomb.
That day, Nie Tian came to find him with the Blood Slaughter Token, and then disappeared the next day. He knew that this guy must have gone to the Bloody Slaughter Ancient Tomb.
Although Gu Yi was very confident in Nie Tian's strength, the latter was going to the Ancient Bloody Tomb this time!
The Ancient Bloody Tomb was a forbidden area among the forbidden areas. For more than a hundred years, very few people could walk out of the tomb alive, and those who did eventually died tragically.
Gu Yi did not wish for such a tragedy to happen to Nie Tian.
Ding Yifan was slightly taken aback. "City Lord Nie Tian has a teacher? Why haven't I heard of him before?"
"Ahem." Gu Yi was slightly embarrassed. He explained, "I heard that it was a teacher during his time in the academy. His strength is pretty good. He should be fine."
Ding Yifan nodded with a strange expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking about. He suddenly said, "Grandmaster Gu, you know about City Governor Nie Tian charging a high entrance fee and registration fee for the martial competition in Heaven Luo City, right?"
"I know. Why? Is there a problem? "Gu Yi was first taken aback, then his face became calm.
The matter of Nie Tian collecting the entrance fee and registration fee, Gu Yi had long known about it.
A low grade Yuan crystal entrance fee and a high grade Yuan crystal registration fee. It was really a bit ruthless.
Fortunately, the other martial artists all knew that Nie Tian's partners were Gu Yi and the Great Yuan Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, they would not have obediently paid up.
"No problem." Ding Yifan's expression stiffened slightly. Then, he smiled.
It would be a lie to say that he was not envious of Nie Tian earning so much money.
But who asked him to say that the Dragon Blood Martial Meet was to be held in Heaven Luo City.
Ding Yifan even complained about this matter to Aoki Lily before. But the latter did not care in the slightest. She even told Ding Yifan to set his sights further, and told him to make sure not to offend Nie Tian.
Aoki Lily's ability to read people was far above Ding Yifan's. Although she did not have much contact with Nie Tian, she had a feeling: Nie Tian was unfathomable!
Towards this kind of unfathomable person, Aoki Lily only had one method: Befriend, never be an enemy!
Hence, seeing Nie Tian earning money so endlessly, although Ding Yifan was envious, he did not dare to show it.
Gu Yi's brows were also knitted very tightly at this time. He was very worried about Nie Tian's safety.
Furthermore, he recently heard some news about the Bloody Massacre Ancient Tomb. Someone already walked out of the ancient tomb. Furthermore, he was inflicted with a very strange blood qi.
Nie Tian did not return after a long time. This made Gu Yi even more anxious.
Although Gu Yi and Nie Tian were only partners, the two of them had a life-and-death friendship in the Burial Cloud Abyss. Gu Yi was also a person who valued relationships. Logically, he did not want anything to happen to Nie Tian.
"Master Gu, what should we do with this first batch of Dragon Blood Stones?" Ding Yifan suddenly asked.
Gu Yi was slightly taken aback. His small eyes darted around before he smiled and said, "Young Master Ding, I am an alchemist and have some understanding of Dragon Blood Stones. Why don't you let me take this first batch of Dragon Blood Stones for research? When the Dragon Blood Stones are mined, Young Master Ding can take it. How about that?"
"Master Gu, this …" Ding Yifan was obviously unwilling. He said, "I have a presumptuous request. I hope Master Gu can fulfill it."
"Oh?" Gu Yi knew that Ding Yifan would definitely not be willing. This was the first batch of Dragon Blood Stones, of course everyone would want to get their hands on it.
Ding Yifan said: "There's still one and a half months before the Dragon Blood Martial Meet starts. This junior also wants to participate in the Martial Meet, so using some 'Dragon Blood' in advance is beneficial to this junior's strength. I hope Master Gu can fulfill my request."
Ding Yifan was very shrewd. He kept referring to himself as a junior and raised Gu Yi's status high. Let's see how you're going to snatch the Dragon Blood Stone from me.
"About this, about that …" Gu Yi was at a loss for words. For a moment, he did not know how to reject Ding Yifan.
Even a child was begging you like this. As an old man, if he could not even show this bit of generosity, he would be too embarrassed.
Just as Gu Yi was in a dilemma, a voice suddenly sounded out.
"You two, stop fighting. This batch of Dragon Blood Stones is mine! "Nie Tian's figure suddenly appeared. His voice was not loud, but it contained an extremely domineering aura that could not be disobeyed.
"City Lord Nie Tian!"
"Nie Tian!"
